thanks :]

awe thanks. I don't think i will be running at Mazfest for 2 reasons.

1- its in august, in the middle of the summer. I learned my lesson with running track days in the summer(aka blowing my head gasket).

2- i hate the roval. i would be more interested if it was just the infield again. IMO the roval with the MSP is just a fail :/ i dont want to ruin the anticipation for some (then again if you have never tracked, any track will be fun.. i just do not like the auto club roval). it was fun in the crawford STi but i think turn 1 and 2 would be terrifying in a FWD car that lacks anything stickier than 140 treadwear tires, but that's just me


so... i'm just gunna play it by ear. for those of you running KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TEMP GAUGE

How did CS radiator perform this time compared to heat soaking you were experiencing with stock one ?

the CS radiator is absolutely amazing with slim fans. i dont know how much of a difference it would make with stock fans, but daily driving the car runs very cold.

takes about 15 minutes of easy/normal driving to get the car to get to normal temps with my aftermarket t-stat (160) installed.

Damn Michele you have renewed my love of my Vibrant exhaust! I didn't know it sounded as good outside as it does inside hahaha. Yea I don't let many people drive my car.

Yeah, I wouldn't get 160* t-stat , just bc of those couple min it requires the car to get to normal working temps.


I guess a dual pass. radiator wouldn't make much more difference then single pass CS you got ?
Wasn't that the reason you wanted to get that Doc B dual passage radiator or you couldn't wait longer ?

:] i know me too. I heard the video and couldn't believe it was my car. Sounds like an evil evo :]

Thx. :]

I wasn't worried about dual of single pass I just new I needed an aluminum radiator. And yes, Doc B will be a good buy but he's not even sure if he can have it by July... The racing series has already started and I couldn't wait any longer. Mishimoto has had mixed reviews it will be interested to see the prototype.

hey michele sorry to threadjack but on your passanger side mount did you screw those two nuts under the part that connects to the engine and then two more on top or did u just put the two on top?

i screwed in all of the bolts on the mount. probably not safe to do it any other way.

is that what you are asking?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I believe he means to replace it... but I'm not sure...

umm ok on the part that connects to the engine. there are two bolts underneath. then the part from the mount that connects to the engine. then two bolts on top with that wire underneath one. how did u put those bolts onto your new engine mount. the same way? or only two bolts ontop of the part that connects from the mount to the engine?

It should be straight forward man, why so much confusion ?

simple: take a look how the stocker is located/mounted and do the same for the new mount, thats all.

now you making sense, well you already "fix'ed" it, better yet email AWR just to be sure at least they can tell you if its OK or just happen to be off by "one bolt" taller.
